How To Have Assurance In Your Appearance
March 8, 2010
Nowadays, appearance is important. At least, that’s what many of today’s press wants you to believe. More and more of the masses are putting their faith in mineral makeup and other types of mineral cosmetics. The significance of looking good and making a good physical impression with people has gotten out of control and people seem to be ignoring the more important areas of a human being. The press is to blame for the most part, persuading teenagers at a young age that they’ll only be successful if they’re beautiful. However, this isn’t true and there are far more important things to worry about, especially as a teenager.
For one thing, being literate is more valuable than any level of beauty. Being intelligent will get you more jobs and make you more successful than having a pretty face and a nice set of clothes. Media continually seems to denigrate the importance of a good education. Really, having a good education is one of the foundations of a satisfying life. Without it, you will not get very far in any job. Intelligence generally is much more attractive than a face covered in make-up anyway.
Also, a good sense of humor is more important than being what most consider “beautiful.” Having a sense of humor can make it easier to make friends which make trying situations less stressful. Most people appreciate a sense of humor more anyway. Also, humor has the potential to last far longer than bodily traits. The single problem with being too humorous is that not everyone will have the same sense of humor as you and can become offended. Therefore, it’s best if you try to feel out the people around you before you begin joking around. Likewise, there are certain situations in which joking is frowned upon so you need to be sensitive to these situations.
Lastly, being a moral, kind person is what will make your life the most gratifying. By being a kind person, you’ll have more friends and will be better liked by the people around you. Generally speaking, if you act like the person that you’d most like to hang out with, other people will want to hang out with you. Also, if you believe in good karma, being a good, nice person will bring about beneficial things in your life. Having an optimistic outlook on life greatly makes your mood better and helps you handle situations.
In the end, appearances are definitely not all you need. You can get by for a bit with a pretty face and expensive clothes, but eventually those will be minimized to nothing. Looks dim and clothes go out of style. The best way to be successful and productive is to adhere these steps and generally do what you believe is right. Following in the footsteps of others, especially people you don’t know (such as Hollywood stars and famous musicians) is a bad idea. Follow your own heart and your own individual set of morals to find your path through life.
